  Sounds like someone is filtering TCP/443 (HTTPS/SSL) inbound to the
Nairobi office.

  You might try contacting the Internet provider for the Nairobi
office.  They're the one entity you have any influence over.  If
*they* are the one doing the blocking, you might be able to do
something about it.  For example, some ISPs block common services, and
will unblock them if you upgrade your Internet connection to a higher
tier of service.  Or they might at least know what's going on.

  Other things you can try include:

  (1) Use a VPN for everything.  You've already discovered this.

  (2) Use non-standard port numbers.  Instead of running your
HTTPS/SSL listener on TCP/443, run it on some other port.
